Cheesy Ranch Popcorn Chicken

Holiday Snacks & Appetizers // Vegan, Healthy, Gluten Free Options!!

Here is another recipe that makes use of something we might already have in our kitchen pantry. The recipe calls for a packet of ranch dressing seasoning mix as an ingredient in the batter. Yes, there are gluten-free dressing mixes. You will have to read the ingredients on the label before purchasing. The flour component in this recipe is almond meal. You can find that in most grocery stores now, or it is simple enough to make by grinding almonds in a food processor. Nut meals and flours add a really nice earthiness to breaded food items. While this is a great gluten-free appetizer, it is just as good as a chicken nugget meal entrée for your children.

Blt Summer Rolls With Avocado

Gluten-free food does not mean you have to skip all grains and breads. This recipe is a take on a classic BLT sandwich. The bread is replaced by rice paper wrappers. The wrappers are versatile enough that these sandwich rolls can be made as appetizer size or large enough to be served as a main meal idea. There are so few ingredients in this easy roll. The only cooking is of the bacon. The rice paper wrappers just need a quick dip in warm water to soften. These are a lighter version of a BLT sandwich. The avocado gives it that California twist.

What Can I Serve With Taco Dip

Now that you have your taco dip ready to go, youre probably wondering what to serve with it. These options are a great choice:

  • Tortilla chips: You cant go wrong when enjoying dip with tortilla chips. And since most varieties are gluten free, you have several options to choose from.
  • Corn chips: Another great choice for dipping in your taco dip are corn chips. And theyre another great option for your gluten free guests, too.
  • Veggies: Keep your carb count low by using vegetables to dip in your taco dip. Good veggie options for dipping include carrot chips, bell pepper slices, baby carrots, and celery sticks.

Flatout Flatbread Gluten Free Wraps

The Flatout people are kind of famous for their low-calorie wraps. According to their website, their gluten free wraps are valued at 4 Weight Watchers SmartPoints each. I think thats higher than the regular wraps. Of course!

I had been on the hunt for these babies the moment I saw a few gluten free bloggers starting to review them online, without any luck. You couldnt even seem to purchase them online, even from the manufacturer. Why would you have a marketing campaign if your product isnt readily available to consumers?

When I finally found these wraps, anticipation was high. They really didnt disappoint. They have a great flavor thats mostly neutral but not invisible, arent too chewy and taste completely normal. My oldest selected them as her favorite, and she eats the most gluten-containing food outside the house so shes a good judge.

The package insists that you heat them before rolling, but even if you defrost them and dont heat them first, they do still roll. One side of the wrap will flake a bit, but thats an Achilles heel of store-bought tortillas in general.

Pepperoni And Cream Cheese Pizza Rolls

Appetizers that arrive on a toothpick are easy for your guests to handle. These pizza roll treats were designed for toothpicks. The combination of cheeses in this recipe is what makes it so tasty and creamy. The textures are really smart here. The cheese is creamy, the pepperoni is chewy, and the olive has a little snap to it. This is another easy recipe. Though, you may have to hone your piping skills to get the cheese to look like the work of a pastry chef. As long as they taste good, I dont think anyone will notice.

Costco Gluten Free Cheese

Costco has tons of cheeses to help add to those cheese platters and charcuterie boards. Always check the ingredients to be on the safe side, but every cheese I looked at was gluten free.

    Sweet N Sour Bacon Wrapped Pineapple

    Homemade Gluten Free Tortilla Chips

    Bacon wrapped anything may take you back to the 1960s. Trader Vics served Pupu Platters that consisted of appetizers very loosely derived from Polynesian recipes. Though, pupu platters have few or no gluten-free appetizers as options. Rumaki was one of the items sometimes found on a pupu platter. It was water chestnuts wrapped in bacon and sugar, broiled until the bacon was caramelized. It was good and still is. This version calls for pineapple instead of water chestnuts and turkey bacon. The pineapple infuses natural sweetness into the bacon. The sour element is form Apple cider vinegar. These disappear fast.

    Rudis Gluten Free Bakery Plain Tortillas

    Rudis gluten free flour tortillas are really good and dont have that potato taste like Mission. Theyre a bit more expensive than the Mission brand, though. Plus theyre harder to find, and only seem to be available frozen.

    They keep for quite a while as frozen, though, are flexible and taste very neutral. They probably have the most conventional flour tortilla taste of all of the brands on this list.

    Here are the other details:

    • Size of package: 9 ounces
    • Price you should expect to pay: about $6.00
    • Fresh or frozen: Frozen
    • Availability: Fair. My local grocery store , my local natural foods store. They used to be more widely available.
    • Other common allergens: none
    • Ingredients: whole grain flours , corn starch, tapioca flour, rice flour, water, canola oil, xanthan gum, cane sugar, organic maltodextrin and organic cultured dextrose, organic apple cider vinegar, guar gum, sea salt, baking powder , malic acid, yeast
    • Shelf life/storage: The package recommends storing the tortillas in the freezer or refrigerator, and indicates that the package can be stored on the counter for up to 10 days. The package does have a freshness date, though, so Im not sure if that 10-day rule is always applicable.

    Thai Meatball Lettuce Wraps

    Finally, a recipe with pork other than bacon! A Gluten-free diet doesnt mean you have to limit your animal based proteins to chicken and turkey. Pasture raised pigs generally dont eat grains and are very lean. Heritage pork is raised on acorns that fall from trees. Yum. You would be surprised how much of our farmed poultry, fish, and beef are fed a grain based diet. Think about it. Do you know if your proteins were fed gluten? The pork based meatballs here are pimped out with Asian herbs and spices, as well as sriracha. The crunchy slaw is a nice raw accompaniment to the meat. This is a really fresh take on a lettuce wrap that is usually not much more than spiced ground meat with peanuts as the crunchy component.
